TWO Hells Angels bikies have been
charged over an alleged extortion racket at a western Sydney
hotel.
Police Strike Force Solo was set up last month to investigate alleged threats of violence against hotel staff if they did not deliver regular payments.
On Monday night detectives moved on the hotel to arrest a 24-year-old Hells Angels member, who was allegedly found with a pocket knife on him.
An hour later police arrested a second Hells Angels member, 23, at his nearby home.
The older man was charged with three counts of demanding money with menaces and carrying a cutting weapon.
The other was charged with demanding money with menaces.
Both men were refused bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on Tuesday
